thx for all the input. i can do stall turns really good, even on top of my street. i can do sideway stall turns no problem. i have not tried a 540 stall turn because i was aware of the fixed pitch tail. (not as precise as a cp tail). i've done loops and my last one was pretty good except that i released the elevator too late and ended up stalling at about 5ft. *crashed*.

olds455, wat do you mean when you said you've lost the head? should my headspeed decay so badly? or is it that my motor is going bad? when i increase collective pitch, the motor would stall, causing teh whole heli to spin tail right even with full revo mixing because of the increased drag. i'll be ordering maybe 5~10 pairs of blades from helidirect. when i do, i'll try to perfect my loop and do rolls knowing that my dad doesn't need to drive me 20min to my lhs everytime i crashed.

olds455, looks like your flying in snow. but how can you fly when your wearing a glove? just wondering...
